I can manage a netgame in a single computer with 2-8 players by starting multiple DOSBoxes at the same time. I typed in the server DOSBox ''ipxnet startserver 23513'' and in client DOSBox[es] ''ipxnet connect [ip] 23513'' (also worked without numbers) and they connected.

Now I want to create a LAN game for two computers and when I tried the same method as above the client DOSBox said ''IPX Tunneling Client failed to connect to server at 192.168.1.5''. Does this mean that a LAN multiplayer requires ports 8501 (TCP) and 23513 (UDP) forwarded? I can't get my ports forwarded for an unknown reason and that's why I'm looking help for a LAN game without ports forwarded. I'm not even sure are those unopened ports the reason I can't connect the client computer to the server. Note that I'm not so good at DOS networking.

For anyone who wonders what router I'm using, I use D-Link DSL-2640B.
